Ammonite Solaris NextGen Light + Accu Type 24

Ammonite Solaris Next Gen Light Kit with 24Ah Battery

The Ammonite Solaris NextGen Light Kit with the Accu 24 battery is built to withstand the harshest diving conditions. This powerful canister light delivers up to 4500 lumens with a narrow 6º beam surrounded by a bright halo. Consequently, technical divers enjoy exceptional underwater penetration, clear signalling, and rugged reliability on demanding cave or wreck dives.

Ammonite Solaris Light Head Specifications & Features

• Maximum Output: Produces 4500 lumens from five CREE® XPL LEDs behind 6mm tempered glass.

• Tight Spot Angle: Features a focused 6º beam angle with a medium corona halo.

• Rugged Construction: Built from hard-anodised marine aluminium and DELRIN® for maximum durability.

• Depth Rating: Light head is depth-rated to 200m.

• Lightweight Profile: Weighs only 340g on the surface and 130g underwater for easy handling.


Engineered for extreme environments, the Solaris NextGen light head offers superior protection against heavy knocks and scratches. An ergonomic Delrin® magnetic switch knob allows you to adjust between three light intensity levels smoothly. Furthermore, the compact head measures just 117mm long, fitting comfortably on any standard Goodman handle.

Accu 24 Canister Battery & Performance

• High-Capacity Power: Large 24Ah Li-Ion battery pack delivers long operational burn times.

• Protected Canister: Encased in hard-anodised aluminium with a 100m depth rating.

• Safe Transport: Complies fully with UN/DOT 38.3 lithium-ion transport testing regulations.

• Versatile Mounting: Includes a fixed webbing loop for hip belts, with sidemount options available.

• Burn Times: Operational mode 8 hrs / Boost Mode 4.50 hrs

The high-capacity Accu 24 battery provides extended burn times for long bottom times and decompression stops. Built-in microchip protection safeguards the lithium-ion cells against over-voltage and thermal stress without suffering from memory effects. Additionally, an intelligent microchip monitors power levels continuously to maximise dive efficiency and safety.

Smart "Take Me Home" Mode

• Low Battery Alert: Signals critical power levels using a distinct strobe flash warning.

• Automated Power Reduction: Switches output automatically to 20% intensity when the battery drains.

• Extended Emergency Light: Provides at least one extra hour of light to end dives safely.


When the Accu 24 canister battery runs low, the system enters emergency "Take Me Home" mode automatically. This smart feature drops power output to 20% to conserve remaining energy. As a result, divers maintain reliable light for over an hour, ensuring a safe ascent and exit from the water.
